WEBDESK: India’s long-standing obsession with Pakistan has taken a new turn online, with Indian netizens now trying to trend “Operation Sindoor Part 2: De-Nuclearise Pakistan.”
The reference, though unclear in strategy, is ironic, considering they didn’t even win in the first one.
Operation Sindoor; was an attempt by India in ‘response’ to an attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), targeting Pakistan, unprovoked, instead of capturing the culprits.
The operation involved strikes across multiple locations, including areas in Punjab and Azad Kashmir.
A report from The Washington Post revealed that a story about “Operation Sindoor” was fabricated, designed to trick both people in India and those abroad.
The report revealed that artificial intelligence was used to generate fake videos, images, and news about a fictitious war.
These deceptive visuals, which included clips from video games and actual conflicts in Gaza and Sudan, were falsely portrayed as real attacks on Pakistan and aired by major Indian TV channels, including Zee News, NDTV, Aaj Tak, and Times Now.
Growing dissatisfaction within India about the government’s diplomatic performance abroad is reflected in the bitterness.
Allies like China, Turkey, and others have openly and clearly supported Pakistan, particularly during the recent India-Pakistan conflict.
These countries have publicly backed Pakistan’s stance, but India’s showy gestures haven’t resulted in tangible influence or lasting partnerships.
Many even called India out for its failed foreign policy, adding to the humiliation.
This renewed online aggression comes just as India faces international embarrassment over its foreign policy.
The United States has issued a travel advisory, asking its citizens to be extra cautious when travelling to India.
The warning highlights a rising risk of violent crime, including rape, as well as concerns about terrorism in different parts of the country.
The advisory points out that rape is one of the fastest-growing crimes in India.
The United States recently updated its travel advisory, warning women against travelling alone to India due to high risks of rape, terrorism, and violence.
Reports of sexual violence and other serious crimes have come from tourist spots and public areas. Traveller, especially women, are strongly warned against going out alone.
“Violent crime and terrorism occur in India,” the advisory says.
It adds that terror attacks could happen suddenly, without any warning, and may target places where people gather, such as tourist sites, transport stations, markets, shopping centres, and government buildings.
The advisory also notes that the US government has limited ability to help its citizens in remote or rural parts of India.
For this reason, US officials must get special permission to visit certain areas, including eastern Maharashtra, northern Telangana, and western West Bengal, due to increased safety risks.
This global spotlight has clearly unsettled many in India.
Instead of self-reflection, Indian trolls have turned their rage outward, not only towards Pakistan but now also Bangladesh.
One post shamelessly claimed, “India was generous to create Bangladesh,” suggesting it should have been merged with India.
This kind of dangerous rhetoric reveals a deeper insecurity, especially as India’s global reputation continues to suffer.
Observers say this online behaviour reflects desperation rather than strength.
When a state can’t hide its failures, it tries to distract the world with false threats and historical revisionism.
Pakistan stands firm, its defense abilities intact, not as a threat, but as a deterrent in a region where peace is increasingly threatened by India’s online warmongers.
